Four albums in, and the bouncy monkeys in Enter Shikari show no signs of flagging despite physically putting their all into every song, every recording and every show. The Mindsweep, their fourth album, came out in January this year, heralded by the singles The Last Garrison and Anaesthetist - both first played on Zane Lowe’s Radio 1 show - and the iTunes-only bonus track Slipshod.
The album shows the band on a creative roll, managing to hop effortlessly from emotive and melodic rock to furious, grime-infested rap rock to daft diatribes against poor service - check out Slipshod, it’s really something. And there’s even the beginnings of a mournful piano ballad in Dear Future Historians…, which the band had to finish off with an epic rock out just so everyone knew it was them all along. Expect chaos.
